I have been to Bangkok a number of times and this time decided to stay nearer the river, in order to use the river taxis as well as the BTS and MRT transport systems. This location was very good for that as it was totally walkable to the Sathorn pier (which is right next to the BTS station). The apartment is in a residential block right next to a courthouse, hence no noise in the evenings. There are any number of street carts selling local food, smaller simple local restaurants as well as one or two cafe type places within a 15 minute walk. A 7-11 convenience store is right at the entrance to the street leading to the apartment and as it is open 24 hours, meets the needs for most basic daily necessities. A large Tops supermarket is close to the BTS station.
The apartment is exactly as pictured, very very clean and is a really nice cool oasis to retreat to after a day in the Bangkok sun. You will not see many tourists in the area but the local residents/shopkeepers you meet are very kind and polite.
The host and her father are superb at hosting, being totally professional, always contactable and responding almost immediately...you felt that you were being looked after by family friends - the hospitality, kindness and generosity with local insider knowledge was outstanding.
